Quick, it was installed in 2 days after the wood was delivered. The 1/4 round molding was included in the price. Transition strips into my linoleum kitchen were included.. The stone fireplace hearth was even scribed to present a neat clean look. I'm very pleased.

Tom, the president of the company, is a very knowledgeable and dedicated professional. Aside from being very personable, he is competitively priced and his work ethic and desire to leave the customer satisfied is second to none. It is nice to know someone still cares about the service they provide and the product they leave behind. He definitely stands by his work.

I love my floors! I dreaded the overdeal & held off as long as I could before deciding to re-do them. The Longest Yard came out immediately to quote & answered my many questions honestly & in a straightforward way. They worked around my schedule (which changed several times since I had other projects going at the same time). When they came to do the job they were prompt, courteous, efficient & friendly. When they left my floors looked brand new! Just beautiful. They even offered to come back to touch up if I scratched the floors moving furniture back (who does that these days?) & the price was less than expected! I highly recommend!!!!

They were very polite friendly and puntual. All my hardwood floors were refinished in just two days when other companies would take a week. I must say that I am 100% satisfied with the work they did. My hardwood floors came back to life. I would definitely call longyard again for my flooring needs because they did it right the first time.

I found the contractor courteous, friendly and competant. Around my house he was careful with all the tools and materials used on the job. The selection of woods and the blending of the new floors to the existing floor is superb. At this point all we have left is the quarter round molding and toe molding to be installed. I am a little anxious to get this completed. All in all I am very satisfied with the entire project.

I was very pleased with The Longest Yard. My hardwood floors were in terrible shape and after they refinished them they look brand new. They were very prompt and met all timelines. They did a fabulous job.

It was a horrible experience at first he charge 1000 to finish the floor. he ask for the money before we even seen the finish job. once I return from work the floors were horrible. he came back did the floors again he still did not do a good job. He offered to give me credit for a future sand and polish job. We told him we would rather get a partial refund. I left him several messages he never return my call. he has left us in a very disturbing situation we have guess coming for an event and he left my floors worst then they were before he touch them. know I will have to pay someone to do what he was suppose to do.
